Meat is an essential source of protein and even after people are slowly switching to vegetarianism, there still exists a large amount of population that cooks and consumes meat. The different types of meat which are eaten worldwide are that of goat, chicken, lamb, turkey and beef. Meat is low on carbohydrates and one of the most used food items in our kitchens, if we are non-vegetarians. Cooking the perfect, tender and juicy meat is sometimes a task for us. We tend to overcook or undercook the meat and that often ruins the whole texture of it. If we buy fresh meat and then cut it on our own at home then we must have proper knives and boards to do so. We must stay aware of the areas from where we need to cut and extract the flesh.

When we talk about mutton, which is goat meat, we must know how to slice or cut the mutton properly and from where. For example there exists some basic and most important cuts such as the front leg, shoulder, hind legs, ribs and neck and the meat extracted from the shoulder is more flavourlful than the other parts because these muscles are in constant use and have more concentration of tissues and fats. We should also know that what type of cooking method is best for a specific part. Such as ribs are popularly cooked by grilling them because it has a layer of fat which melts and helps to baste the meat. This enhances the overall flavour of the mutton.
03/4Let your mutton pieces rest after marination
The next important thing is to marinate mutton the correct way. The marination time of mutton is way more than that of chicken because it has solid fibre and thus the marination takes time to seep in. We must leave mutton to marinate for at least 8 hours but the best way is to leave it overnight in the refrigerator. During marination we can add food items that help to soften the meat such as curd or lemon. When you marinate your mutton you must remain generous while adding the ingredients.

When we cook mutton we must always try to cook it on low flame if we’re using a gas stove. This is the perfect way to make your mutton juicy and tender. The flesh extracted from the back area does not require a lot of time to cook. If we cook it for long then the mutton might end up becoming hard and chewy. The flesh from the shoulder or the rear part is meant to be cooked for a long time. Some other tips which we must keep in mind while cooking our mutton is that we must wash our mutton and make sure that it has dried before we start cooking it. We must let the mutton cook in its time and should not immediately start flipping it or nudging it.
